I'm running fc4, which I've upgraded from rawhide.

 rpm -q binutils
binutils-2.16.91.0.2-4

As far as I can see that's the latest from kernel.org.

If I were really good at this, I could generate a small test 
case, but ...

I was really just looking for leads on what else to look 
for. For instance I've noticed that using 
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden generates relocation errors. 
Anything else I should look for?
